THE NEW IMAC

The New IMac

The new iMac is 5 mm thick at the edges and is 40 percent thinner than the previous versions. The
new iMac is available in two screen sizes: 21.5 inches and 27 inches.
During the presentation, Phill Schiller showed off the evolution of the
iMac revealing how far Apple’s Mac has come from 1998 when it was first
launched.

The 27-inch version has a screen resolution of 2,560 ×
1,440 pixels and the 21.5 inch version has a screen resolution of 1,920 ×
1,080 pixels.

The 21.5-inch version has an Intel Core i5 quad-core
processor clocked at 2.7 Ghz. Users can configure this up to 3.2 Ghz
using Turbo Boost. There’s also a version of the iMac clocked at 2.9 GHz
with i5 which can be configured to an i7 Ivy-Bridge processor clocked
at 3.1 GHz.

The 27-inch version starts with 2.9 GHz quad-core Intel
Core i5 processor and Turbo Boost up to 3.6 GHz. It also has another
version starting at 3.2 GHz which can be configured to the 3.1 GHz
quad-core Intel Core i7 with a Turbo Boost for up to 3.9 GHz.

Both
versions have two Thunderbolt ports and four USB 3.0 ports. There is no
optical drive in the new iMac. In the iMac, Apple is giving users the
option of Fusion drive which combines a faster Flash Drive with the
traditional Hard Drive. This will let users keep certain frequently used
items on the speedy flash storage, while infrequently accessed items
will go to the hard drive.
